Yes, it is an issue with saving the game.  If you’ve loaded a save it will not work, and I wasn’t able to figure out why it does this.  But if you don’t load a save it works fine.  I’m sorry about this

The lost house key will lead to the last shrine, and it is inside the decorative vase.  It should prompt you to take the key if you examine the vase and look inside it.  If it did not work, let me know.  I have a patch coming through for the bookshelf issue, it has to do with loading the game.

I'm glad that you had fun at least! Thanks for playing!

One thing to check, did you load a save before triggering the bookshelf?

Hmm, I will check this out.  It was working fine the last update.  But thanks for checking it out and letting me know!

I've just released my first attempt at a full horror-puzzle/survival game.  The only other two games I have ever released have been demos or prototypes, but this one is the first one to get an actual ending (well, two different endings at that!).

I am just looking for feedback as to how I did, and what can be improved.  Is the atmosphere/buildup there, or does it miss?  Is the game actually scary to others?  Is the gameplay enjoyable?  Just general feedback in general would greatly be appreciated as I begin working on my next project.

Greetings all, I wanted to share the release of my first full game.  It is based around a Japanese urban legend with my own telling of a story.  The gameplay is roughly around an hour, and you can get one of two endings depending on what you do during the game.

You play as Kochi, a successful and wealthy businessman who has just returned home to the small village where he was born to get away from the stress of his daily life.  But is that the real reason he has returned?  Solve puzzles and survive to reveal the secret Kochi wants to remain hidden.

Hello everyone, the prototype for my classic survival horror project is now available!

The demo takes place mostly inside an old manor where you will fight off creatures while exploring the area and finding clues about the town and what is going on, while progressing towards the end of the demo.  It is full of things like puzzles and such that are a staple in this genre.  A more detailed description of the story of the planned full game is on the game page if you care to know more.

Awesome!  Thank you so much!

Hey everyone,

I am looking to get some feedback on my demo/prototype for my major project I plan to start into full development next year.  I have put together a playable, although still slightly rough around the edges, demo for people to test out and give feedback on things like story, atmosphere, mechanics, etc.  I would love to hear some feedback so that I can take it all into consideration when building the full project!

Hey!  Really awesome of you to do this!  Don't know if you are still accepting, but I would love some thoughts on my survival horror game!  I am trying to get as much criticism as possible before I start full development to make improvements for the full launch next year on Steam!  It is still rough around the edges and some features haven't been implemented yet, but would love to hear what you think about the story, atmosphere, mechanics and what not!

Heritage Hills is a game about a mysterious town heavily influenced by the occult and witchcraft.  Search for your missing fiancé Jess when you discover her "parents" old farmstead was located not far from this old village and uncover a beaten path that leads to this isolated nightmare.  Explore this old farmstead and collect all the notes and coins you can find while exploring the story!

This is a prototype/demo for a major project we have planned, so we are looking for feedback on story, atmosphere and mechanics!
